Runners from throughout central Kansas will flock to Marion County Park and Lake on Saturday for the ninth annual Mothers of Preschoolers Run for Your Momma.

The half-marathon, half marathon relay, and 5k run/walk follow a course of pavement and gravel roads through hills and flat lands, passing through Marion, by Marion County Lake, and with prairie, tilled fields, and grazing cattle in between.

The half-marathon and relay start at 6:30 a.m. and the 5k starts at 7:30 a.m. Relay teams are limited to two members.

Registration is $55 for the half-marathon, $60 for the relay, and $30 for the 5k. The price includes a T-shirt and post-race breakfast meal ticket.

Children 8 and under can run for free. Dogs on leashes are welcome.

Male and female winners of the half-marathon receive $100, with $50 to second place and $25 to third. Finishers receive a medal.

Each member of the winning relay team pockets $25, as do the overall male and female 5k champions.
